[quote=\"LYL10\"]Did anyone check up what is the difference between the Chinese classes? Are the children being taught the same stuff thou they are in different classes??

They are suppose to be taught on the same stuff but at different speed. And if I am not wrong, the better classes get taught on the Shen Kwang section while the weaker class leave that out.

Hi Belinng, what is shen kwang section?[/quote]深广. It is normally the 3rd story in each chapter.

My daughter is also in 1.6. The school actually \"test\" the kids to see their level of Chinese to split them accordingly. My daughter was ask to a few questions and to translate some things from English to Mandarin. This is the norm for APS. The P1 is assess this way, but P2 onwards will be based on the previous year results.

I wonder what is the differences in the class?[/quote]

Last year, 1.6 and 1.7 were the better classes, not sure about this year though...it is best to check with the teacher. I think there will be a meet the teacher session at the end of Term 1...sometime in Mar 2013?[/quote]

The Meet the teacher session is on 15th Mar. In terms of level, I think its more like can speak & read, can speak & cannot speak Mandarin for P1.

what is Anderson primary highest PSLE score this year ?

percentage scored > 250 ?

which are the top few classes from P4 - P6 ?

265 but don't know how many retain though,heard alot of them go to NA or NT.

Wow... long time didn't check, seems like I missed a lot of things :yikes:

Just to add on the above, I was at a recent Anderson Parent Link Group meeting when the school management shared with the parents about the 2012 PSLE results.

At the meeting, the school shared that it has recorded the highest pass rate of 99.6 % in its school history in the 2012 PSLE.

The pass rate for all subjects is also higher than the national passes, with about 7 out of 10 pupils making to the Express Course over the past 2 years of PSLE.

The school also shared that it is particularly proud of the achievements of the class of pupils taking foundation subjects as many of them have achieved very good results and are able to pursue an NA course in secondary schools.
One even made it to the Express Course.

In the meeting, the school management also expressed to the parents that it is important that schools and parents come together to affirm and celebrate the achievements and efforts of all our children in the PSLE.

Every child is unique and has different interests and talents. As such, results at PSLE or other forms of exams should not be used to ‘define’ our children or used a single point of yardstick to measure the overall success of our children.

As parents, let’s all be proud of all our children’s achievements and continue to guide and encourage them to be happy, positive, resilient and good contributing members of the larger community.

Hope we don't really start comparing as different schools, children have their own strengths and weaknesses... each of them is unique... :salute:

This is indeed a good information for us. I truly believe that every child is different and they are strong in their own ways. We as parents can encourage them to be their best!

Syshi, thanks for the info. It is good to know.

I don't recall reading the good news on APS website. Wonder if it is against MOE policy to share the stats. If not, such good news should be shared.
